Hello to all my on-line friends and anyone else who may have mistakenly found their way here.
I am "under construction" at the moment but should be up and running with at least some modicum of decent presentation soon.
Why am I here? Fair question; there are tons of blogs for you to spend your time reading, so I suppose mine will need to be distinctive to attract your attention. I am a huge music fan, particularly progressive and folk music (and especially progressive folk music), and I like to spend my time promoting music from people who put their heart into the effort and need whatever support they can get.
Here's what I plan to offer:
- lots of album reviews. I have written more than 700 on various sites around the web, and will bring some of those here or at least point to them.
- band bios, photos, and stuff like that, especially for acts not too many people have heard of.
- some sample and download links, but only where the artist themselves approve. Don't come here looking for pirate downloads; you can find those lots of other places and I don't want to end up in jail.
- conversation. The whole point of most folk music is to make personal connections, and you can't do that unless you converse with people. Well, maybe you can, but I wouldn't call those very healthy connections. Seriously, if the only human interaction you get is on-line then you should probably log off and go enjoy some sunshine outside. Don't worry, the web will be here when you get back.
Hope you come back - I'll get some stuff worth reading posted soon!
Clem
